A mild, simple and general procedure for the oxidation of benzyl alcohols to benzaldehydes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919608003620

The enzyme/cofactor system laccase/2,2'-azino-bis(3 ethyl-benzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) catalyzes the oxidation of benzyl alcohols to the corresponding benzaldehydes by molecular oxygen. The reaction proceeds under physiological conditions to yield the products quantitatively.
